Martin Maldonado News: Sitting Monday

Published on June 9, 2025

Maldonado is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Maldonado and Elias Diaz have been splitting backstop duties this season, but the former appears to be the de facto No. 1 option at the moment. Maldonado will be on the bench for Monday's series opener, however, while Diaz serves behind home plate and bats ninth.
